Response to 040413 OCPS Letter to Parent Opt Out – This is an attorney parent’s personal interpretation to a district bully letter, sent to a parent in response to the parent’s opt out letter.This is not to be considered legal advice. It is meant only to help you understand what a district bully letter looks like and what it really means – and more importantly, what it does NOT mean. It is legalese deconstructed for you. It should help you to feel more at ease if you receive a bully letter of any kind.

In WRITING, please… – Response to bullying from school or district – Ask for it in writing, and don’t be afraid to file a complaint.

Informing, NOT Asking Permission – If you are told that you cannot pick up your child after refusal….. If you do this on your own and you don’t have a lawyer, do NOT say you have a lawyer. If this happens to you, please contact us ASAP. We can help.

If a sophomore student receives a score of NR2 for minimal participation, he/she would still be able to earn their diploma by earning a concordant (passing) score on the ACT or the SAT. They would still have to fulfill the state’s EOC requirements. Thank you.
